About 9 years, since 1948, Viktor Semenovich taught painting at the art school of Yelets. His pedagogical activity was based on an individual approach to each of the students.

Viktor Sorokin possessed the ability to invest in his pupils a particle of his talent, thereby transferring to them the tradition of painting, which has a high artistic level. During the work of the Master in an art school, his students became the best painters among their classmates.

In his memoirs, Vilen Dvorianchikov, the founder of the House of Master and his first director, emphasizes that Viktor Semyonovich’s works became a source of inspiration for students. The Master’s students understood the inaccessibility of his work, but the level of painting of Victor Sorokin did not suppress novice artists. Works of the Master only denoted the level of skill to which one should strive.

Creativity of his students is devoted to the main part of the exposition. In fact, «Meetings and Fates», having combined more than 30 works of the Master’s students, present to the public his artistic heritage. Only it is embodied in the works of the followers of the great artist. All of them are famous painters.
